Is this still applicable to the Raymax RM50-F-120-TEL? The instructions only talk about telemetry on the F100 specifically but there is a line at the end mentioning telemetry as an option for the RM50.. If that works out, then I just need to find a place to buy one from..

You know what I think your right but I would hold off a couple of weeks for the new Vario anyway. Same price as the Fusion line but a lot more features.

I popped a note to Raytec asking for clarification.. Thanks for the suggestion on the Vario's.. I think the smallest would be PLENTY for my situation (unless I want two -- which might be needed for our yard).. I'll check it out.. It's got some nice features!

This one?

Yes.. (sorry.. I responded and then later edited my post above).. That's the one -- if the pricing is essentially the same that'd be great. Is it going to be generally available in a few weeks? I like the remote control feature among others. Ultimately I'll need a few of these -- too bad they don't have one with a wider FOV than 60.. Damn this hobby is going to get expensive!!

They do Look at the optional parts at the bottom of the PDF. Optional Lens

Thanks.. I gotta learn to look a bit closer! Slick product!!

So, I got a reply back from Raytec late last night and regarding telemetry inputs on their units (I assume this goes for any of their hardware that has the telemetry feature):

I'm still trying to digest that but I think it sounds like, in a nutshell, I would only need to close a circuit (aka short a pair of wires?) to turn the unit on or off -- is that your take on that as well?

I may be ordering direct thru their sales people in Canada since I can't find anyone... I'll keep you posted on what I get as I'm awaiting another reply from Raytec on whether to get the i2 or i4 with the wide angle optional lens for my situation.

I've updated the post above to remove the link.. Thanks for the suggestion on Mayflex -- I do recall seeing their site in Google the other night and will check them out!

Hey Tom.. Is the Ganz reference above referring to the ComputarGanz website? If so, I wonder if I could order from their Torrance office (where I live).. Hmm..

hi yes same company is ganz UK. they sell them so it might be worth calling torrance and see when or if they will be selling them.

I received my Optex HX40RAMi yesterday, drop shipped from an Optex warehouse in Chino, CA -- care of Spytown. I had to call Spytown yesterday because I wasn't sure if they had even worked on my order.. Their website leaves a bit to be desired in this area -- NO order updates. Anyway, it did arrive and in under a week so I should be happy! Anyway, I opened the box and the HX40 seems very well built -- a bit larger than I was expecting, lots of templates and whatnot. Seems like a great product but I've not had time to play with it yet. I should be getting my new-in-box ebay purchased receiver for it within the next day or so -- it's roaming the streets of Long Beach (CA) in a Priority Mail truck..

P.S. I contacted Computar/Ganz and the local rep for So-Cal indicated that they do not sell Raytec illuminators but some their own brand with model numbers like IRL-S6...
